COVID-19 POLICY UPDATE
The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation is going to exercise an abundance of caution as the new Delta strain is escalating the number of new COVID cases and we now know that vaccinated people can catch and also spread the highly-contagious virus. To ensure the health of our community we are requiring everyone to wear masks inside the center again. Our staff are fully vaccinated, and will be wearing masks at all times, as will our visitors. We will have masks available for all of our guests.
Tours are still being offered but our smaller rooms require us to cap the attendance level. Priority will always be given to visitors who have booked an appointment over drop-ins. Appointments will allow us to provide a better, safer experience for all of our guests, so please schedule your visit below.

Matilda Joslyn Gage (March 24, 1826 – March 18, 1898) was a 19th-century women's suffragist a Native American rights activist, an abolitionist, a freethinker and a prolific author, who was "born with a hatred of oppression."
One of the most radical, far-sighted and articulate early feminists, Matilda Joslyn Gage was deliberately written out of history after her death in 1898 by an increasingly conservative suffrage movement. Equal in importance to Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Gage is all but unknown today. Work is under way to correct that through the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation.
